"Mr. Gamble..." Chaz quickly stepped forward and supported Harold's sweaty back, looking at him with
concern. "How are you?"
"Fine." Harold's voice was hoarse, with a hint of inexplicable exhaustion. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He raised his head and met Franklin's cold and frightening deep eyes.
He couldn't help but curl his lips. "Mr. Maskelyne, I'm willing to admit defeat in the bet. Although the
island is gone, I don't want to die either. I even feel lucky that I didn't die."
"It shows that compared to life, that island means nothing." Franklin spoke coldly and then signaled
Jasper to handle the transfer procedures for the island.
Chaz was unwilling but knew that they had to give up the island.
And all new energy technologies were still in MI6's hands.
They were still passive.
A fawning expression appeared on Chaz's face. "Mr. Maskelyne, no need to bother yourself. I will take
care of all these procedures for you today."
Jasper lowered his eyebrows. "Then thanks, Mr. Santana."
Chaz held his breath and forced a smile on his face,"You're welcome."
"Well then, since it's settled, we won't disturb you any longer today... This play has been very enjoyable
for me." Franklin stood up from his chair as he spoke.
The man was extremely tall with a stern face exuding faint killing intent.
Harold could only accompany him with a smiling face,"The trouble with new energy... I wonder when
Mr. Maskelyne can help solve it?"
Franklin just gave him a cold glance, "No rush, we're not leaving tomorrow anyway."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and grabbed Sylvia's small hand in his large palm; the cold lines
on his face softened slightly,"Honey, let's go."
That gentle yet indulgent voice made it seem like the man who had been full of murderous intent just
now wasn't him at all
Sylvia lazily glanced at him, "Okay!"
Seeing their interaction made everyone almost gasp for air.
Especially Harold; he stiffened completely where he stood
Franklin got married... Many people knew about this matter; this man never deliberately concealed the
fact that he was married
So... Is this deputy chief his wife?
Franklin was telling everyone clearly: This woman belongs to me! Whoever dares have any crooked
thoughts towards her will be bored out of their minds!
Harold felt a chill run down his spine. Just moments ago, he had been curious about Sylvia and even
slightly attracted to her. But now, all those feelings had vanished without a trace.
Franklin led Sylvia out of the meeting room by the hand and waited until they were in the car before
bursting into laughter. "Honey, you're amazing! You're incredible!" He couldn't help but feel satisfied
thinking about how Sylvia had taken care of Chaz and his cronies. It was especially satisfying when
she slapped them in the face.
He had wanted to laugh earlier but held back until now. With a smirk on her lips, Sylvia's eyes showed
a hint of mockery as she said, "Anyone who dares to mess with my man is just asking for trouble."
Franklin sat next to her and watched as she laughed merrily with eyelashes fluttering like wings. His
eyes softened with tenderness as he spoke in his deep voice close to her ear, "My wife, you're
amazing." She turned her head and blinked at him before laughing again.
Unable to resist himself any longer, Franklin pulled her into his arms while running his large hands
through her soft hair. His deep voice rang out once more saying, "My wife is the best in this world."
Sylvia's heart bubbled over with joy at hearing such loving praise from him.
Her beautiful dark eyes sparkled even brighter than before while Jasper asked curiously, "Miss
Andrews, did you have good luck or what? How did you get two straight flushes?"
"Did you forget?" She curled one corner of her mouth up slyly," I shuffled the cards beforehand so I
knew exactly what they looked like." Harold shuffled them again afterward but only half-heartedly
because he was preoccupied with something else."
"So when it came time for me to be dealt cards again, I got lucky because I knew where all my good
cards were."
Jasper was shocked by how sharp Sylvia's memory was."What if Harold kept shuffling? What if he
went crazy shuffling?"
Sylvia shrugged nonchalantly, "It wouldn't matter since I already knew where all my good cards were
from shuffling them myself earlier."
"The same principle applies to shuffling cards too! All the cards I shuffled were arranged in order, with
four ones and four twos each. No matter how he shuffles them, they will be mixed up. But because of
their previous arrangement, he cannot shuffle them into complete chaos."
